Okay

And Daylight Saving Time doesn’t cause it, that would be Standard Time.

I don’t want to be pedantic but it really irks me that people (not you) don’t know the difference and they keep saying they prefer one of the two but it’s always the opposite of what they’re thinking. With legislation being talked about every switch, it would be helpful for people to know what the hell they’re talking about.

Personally, I prefer DST living in CA but I do like Arizona’s year-round ST considering how hot it is in the evenings.

Oh, I hadn’t thought of that though I should have because I recently corrected double slashes in a codebase that interacts with Windows-based servers.

I was about to comment that this is so fake, but it turns out I’ve been on Linux/UNIX too long and flags, paths just look super janky in Windowsland.

“S-Q-L ‘aight” for SQLite?

Yeah that’s a whole other can of worms. I see this a lot at work where people are asking for direct database credentials and cringe every time.

Is it though? I haven’t used a framework since probably 2007 that doesn’t do this. There are the smaller, more DIY frameworks out there but I’ve never used them professionally.

Lately I’ve been dealing with tons of invalid byte sequences in MySQL dumps and it makes me question what the hell they’re allowing in there.

Unless you’re coding from scratch it’s hard to not do this with any modern framework.

I’ve been doing web development for something like 20 years now and I just can’t imagine how shitty your backend is if this is an issue.

This is why I take a late lunch every day. Every standup I’m like “I’ll wrap up this small issue from yesterday, then move on to something bigger…”

Usually the “small issue” is finally done around 4 PM.

How do you complete the captcha? For me it just loops; it’s to the point where not having the original link to an article is actually more annoying.

Windows 95

I use Linux utilities everyday on macOS as well as on my servers and networking equipment—I love it to death.

But when it comes to the end-user stuff, I’m deeply invested in Apple’s ecosystem. My personal laptop, work laptop, phone, Apple TV work pretty seamlessly together and I love that aspect of it.

What saddens me most is the drive away from native app development regardless of OS. Can’t stand Windows but if I’m using it I want the applications running on it to match Windows’ design language the same as I do on macOS (Linux GUI looks awful on macOS) and Linux (depending on desktop environment).

More related to Linux though, I do tend to lean more toward BSD UNIX than Linux, but due to the lack of containerization and popularity it’s hard to make it a daily OS.

I’m dying to do this but the clients for Matrix on iOS and macOS look like trash, they’re either web wrappers or have that creepy Windows look.

I really wish I had the time to study Swift and native app development.

Eh, out of all my own traffic I’ve MITM’d it’s mostly been third-party SDKs in apps doing creepy shit.

Down to hate on Gulf of America but when it comes to privacy it’s debatable.

Irrelevant: Scared me for a sec, thought I had an IP leak as I VPN to Switzerland but remembered I explicitly allowed Maps to be routed through a US VPN.

I wrote that “Gulf of America” is only used by an authoritarian regime and “not widely used.”

I mean that’s fine, we’re all different. If your partner doesn’t mind doing the shopping that’s fine too.

The problem here is that people really find it “unmanly” to go to the grocery store.

A lot of these rules are stupid.

Recently there was a news article about a politician dissing Kamala Harris’ husband for grocery shopping with her. The fact that anyone would even stop to consider it not being “masculine” is corny as fuck.

I do this with my wife all the time—we both eat, and we have wildly different diets (I’m vegan)—why would I just pile all my shit on her plate and make it her responsibility? Because I might be seen as gay by someone in a MAGA hat?
